Let’s say we’re both walking down the street. I am a haphazard, reckless sort of person so I accidentally stomp on your foot while I’m walking. Maybe I break a toe or two. Does your foot hurt? Does the knowledge that I didn’t intend to step on your foot unbreak your toes? I was being careless, but I sincerely didn’t

She’s basically saying that white women are celebrated for doing things that black women do. Black women twerking? Disgusting and ghetto. White women twerking? Cute and fun. Black women wearing cornrows? Ghetto. White women wearing cornrows? Chic.

I think corn rows on us reads as ratchet and thuggish and on white women it reads as “edgy” and High fashion. Beauty standards are different and that bleeds into sexuality and how each is treated.

Man, you haven’t lived until you’ve lived in China and seen cute babies taking monster dumps into garbage cans at the mall. That peeing story didn’t even make me bat an eyelash.

HEY THAT’S ME! I MADE THAT! True life, I cried a little bit when I got it in the mail, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen my father look at me with such pride.

And if I’m not ungreyed after I photoshopped an ibex for you people I just give the fuck up.

He hates her, yes? Every time she is styled by him she looks ridiculous.

If I trust anyone with this project, it’s him.

I’m hoping that Vargas did a good job. It would be so disappointing that someone as aware of race issues as he is would make a bad documenrary about race. I don't have MTV but I hope we discuss it when it comes out :).

Somewhere in another universe, a goldfish bride is gluing a naked, drowning family of four from Dearborn, Michigan to a tiny, decorative house, finishing up final preparations the night before her wedding.” This is so good. SO GOOD!!

This just looks like pee to me. Nothing says forever like jars of urine.

You have zero, and I do mean zero idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

Just like a black make-up artist can’t be expected to know how to deal with white people’s skin.

I always have colors as deep as “blue black,” but my clients are all very diverse. I’ve known artists who only worked in the rich, white neighborhoods who could not for the life of them do ethnic makeup. Flipside: it’s expensive to buy new product, but it’s totally possible to keep a small kit together that works for

It isn’t even $400 for “black cosmetics” to get the job done. Two deep toned foundations (one yellow, one reddish), a pack of Temptu mixers, a rich blush, and a deep silicone blot powder will do the trick. The rest can be mixed or created with whatever the artist carries, anyway. AND, the blush and the powder will

White lives matter, ethics in journalism, #notallsendersofdickpics, amirite? LOL LOL fuck you

Just to counter the person who says you’ll be fine, I will tell you that I started trying at 37, it’s now 3 years later and I still have no baby. (I was ready to have a baby at your age but my now-husband, then-boyfriend, wasn’t ready.) If I could go back in time to my early 30s I would have frozen my eggs. It’s now

Now, I feel obligated to mention Michaela DePrince who I’m also obsessed with.
